vlvlsEcTING A CALF.
Performing the Operation in Order 70
Show the Action of the Heart.

| Performing the Operation in Order to
Show the Action of the Heart.
In the presence of big class OF students,
| which filed the amphitheatre OF the upper
lecture room of the College of Physicians and
surgeons, Professor j. G. Curtis, lecturer on
| physiology, made novel vivisection to DEM
onstrate the action of the heart, about which
there is considerable diversity of opinion
among the great Psychologists. Professor
Curtis holds that the heart shortens. 1t be-
came old Janitor Mixes duty to keep his eyes
peeled for any of Bergh's men who might be
present in a disguise and put a stop to the
demonstration in its most important stage.
When the coast was clear and Mike satisfied
himself that only those who had business in
the lecture room were there Professor Curtis
began his lecture.
He discussed the merits and dement's of the
famous Psychologists, and tried to show that
the heart really shortened by reading from
accepted writers who had made a number of
experiments to support their theory. Before
he finished speaking four of his assistants,
clad in rough bed ticking gowns, dragged in
an unsuspecting calf The calf was placed in
V shaped trough, with four stout Stats
nailed to the top and bottom, two on each
Sponges saturated with ether were clapped
over the animals nostrils and soon reduced it
to Inconsistencies. Then Professor Curtis
seized long, keen edged knife and made an
incision extending from the head down to the
belly. In few strokes he cut away the hide,
and with an instrument like pair of pruning
shears he cut out the breast plate, exposing
the lungs and the heart in its sac. This was
carefully removed, and then the students
calf.
There lay the heart, bobbing about with
every respiration the animal made, When
the lungs We're filed with air they almost en-
tirely covered the heart, but during the ex-
pration it came into view again, and its
action could closely be studied. With pair
of delicate compasses Professor Curtis fol-
lowed the jerky movements Of the organ and
measured it in several positions, showing that
during diastole.
The calf was kept alive just an hour, which
was the time the lecture lasted, and just be-
fore it died Professor Curtis tied the aorta,
the main artery, at the point of its attach
ment, and with single stroke Of the knife
cut out the organ and pinned it on board
between two rows of long pins In this posi-
ton, outside the body, the heart made abo'it
a dozen beats, and it became even more PLAIN
than before, by observing its situation be-
tween the pins, that it shortened when con-
tracing, resuming its normal size at the end
of the beat.-New York World

THE COTTON CROP.
The Largest Ever Raised in the
COuntry-IntereStin Facts.

The crop of cotton of the present year WILL
without doubt, be the largest ever raised in
the United States, remarks a daily contem-
porary. 1t will probably reach $500, 900
bales, which would be 500,O 900 bales and more
i'll excess of any previous year. The crop of
1885 reached ), 800, 600 bales, and the largest
yet produced, the famous crop of 1888, ag-
gregated 6,992, pa bales. The history of
cotton raising in the United States is an in
teresting one In 1791 almost full century
ago, the United States sent sixty-four bags Of
cotton to England and fifteen years later the
export had increased to 100, 900 bags But in
that early day there could have been no anti
cipation of the large place that cotton was to
fill in the productions of the country. In
1849 the crop reached S7O415 bales and in
1853 it had grown to upward of 1000, 900, be-
low which it has never since fallen, unless
during the civil war, of which there is no
record.
Great as the production now is, it seems
likely that it may reach even larger figures
in the future. There is still much good cot
ton land in the South that is not utilized and
much that is farmed can be made to give
heavier yield by better cultivation For sew
.eral years money and enterprise have been
seeking investment in cotton growing, and
this tendency will continue as long salts
factory returns are obtained. At an average
of nine cents pound the present years crop
will be worth in the neighborhood of $780,,
